Double-check  your mail archive (or just re-read the above, it's all
right there).

The part that DES is rightfully complaining about is this (which you
wrote in reply to Julian, and which DES properly quoted):

If you're going to insult someone, at least spend 30 seconds to make
sure you are in the right about it.  :)
